Marketing Operations vs Project Management
Asset-Centric Workflows
Wonderful
Tasks, assets, and campaigns connected. Review creative assets in context, approve with comments, launch directly to ad platforms. Your creative files are first-class citizens.
Asana
Tasks can have file attachments, but there's no real asset management. Large creative files hit size limits. No connection between assets and campaign execution.
Campaign Launch
Wonderful
Complete the brief → Create assets → Get approval → Launch to Facebook/Google/LinkedIn/TikTok. The entire flow happens in one platform with full traceability.
Asana
Track campaign planning in Asana, then manually download files, log into each ad platform, upload creatives, and configure campaigns. No automation or integration.
Brand Consistency
Wonderful
Built-in brand guidelines ensure every asset meets standards before launch. Color palettes, logo usage, and fonts automatically validated against your brand kit.
Asana
No brand management features. Teams rely on separate style guides and manual review to catch brand inconsistencies.
